Different horizontal spacing in instrumentName and shortInstrumentName
Dear All,
I noticed that version 2.11.41 produces a different padding between
the instrument name and the staff depending if I use instrumentName or
shortInstrumentName. The behaviour has changed somewhere after .39
where the spacing was still OK. I haven't tested it on .40.

use the feta font in GIMP
Hi, I'd like to add some little details to finalize a score, it would be a bit too hard for me to do this with lily so I had the idea to import the pdf in the GIMP and then add the final touch. It seems I can use the fonts but an object is often called with a something like clefs.G (it's just an example); if I type this in the gimp I won't have a G clef but just the text. Does Anyone have an idea?

trill notes
Hi, A generic question: * If the key is C-minor, and I want a trill on (midinotes) D# and E, what would the correct trill notes be? Es E (neutral) -or- Es Fes * Will amateur players and professional players both agree on one method? * Is the correct method suitable for each instrument? Or are there instrument which would prefer a specific one of these options? gr. Maarten ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: trill notes
Hi Maarten, A generic question: * If the key is C-minor, and I want a trill on (midinotes) D# and E, what would the correct trill notes be? Depends on the context -- i.e., which note is the fundamental and which is the embellishment, as well as the underlying harmonic structure (chords, etc.). * Is the correct method suitable for each instrument? Or are there instrument which would prefer a specific one of these options? Harmonically, there is only one correct answer -- from a performance/engraving perspective, there may be other ways of writing it which are easier to play (based on fingering, ease of sight- reading, etc.). Hope this helps! Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
moving notes horizontal position
A stupide question!
I just would like to move the last notes a bit more to the end(aproach to
the bar) as it can be seem in the fotolog below

here is a piece of code of the melody:
8\\( c c' d d' e e' f f'\!

Re: trill notes
Hi Bert, I would say that in C-minor (if the harmonic structure, context etc is C-minor) I would not use Fb, but E, because the flat version of IV grade seems very strange for me, while the neutralized version of III grade is common. If it's a C-minor chord, and the trill is on degree III from above, I would personally use the flattened IV: in standard Western harmony the resolution tendency of a flattened note (e.g., IV-flat) is downwards, whereas the resolution tendency of a raised note (e.g., neutralized III) is not. In C# minor, would you use E sharp instead of F-natural? This kind of decision is definitely context- (and, often, person-) specific: no rule can ever be universally helpful. Best regards, Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: moving notes horizontal position
The question is if you want to move the note to the right or if you want
to decrease the distance from the note to the bar line.
In the former case, read the last lines of section Horizontal spacing
overview
in the manual. In the latter case, you may rather want to play with scaling
the durations, for example
\times 2/3 { g g'8 \f f f' e e'8*4\)} \override Script #'padding =
#1 e
e'2*1/2\fermata
or
\times 2/3 { g g'8*2 \f f f' e e'\)} \override Script #'padding =
#1 e
e'2*1/2\fermata |
I actually think that the default layout corresponds fairly well to common
notation practice, though.

The easiest way is perhaps to do something like this:
\times 2/3 { g g'\f f f' e e'\)}
s8 e e'2*3/4
This inserts a quaver of space between the octave Es. To make up for
this we multiple the octave E minim by 3/4. Adjust those values until
you get what you want.
(I've just removed your fermata markup to make it clearer.)

I don't have the knowledge to comment about the font issue, but I do have a suggestion about the choice of tools. GIMP is not well-suited for working with vector images (such as PDFs).

Hi Matthieu, I'd like to add some little details to finalize a score, it would be a bit too hard for me to do this with lily so I had the idea to import the pdf in the GIMP and then add the final touch. I used to do the same thing: I would open the Lilypond-generated PostScript file in Illustrator and add the final touch. However, I soon found ways of accomplishing in Lilypond everything that I would do in Illustrator -- and it kept all the tweaks in a single file/process. So, my question is... what are your final touches? Perhaps we can help you keep it in Lilypond. If not, I second Chris's suggestion to avoid GIMP, in favour of a vector-based application.

sdfgsdhdshd wrote: Is it possible to write the Clef, key and tempo only at the beginning of the first system of each score? Certainly! Just turn off printing of these objects somewhere after the first note (but of course before the next line break). For example, it should work do add the following lines \override Score.KeySignature #'break-visibility = #all-invisible \override Score.Clef #'break-visibility = #all-invisible after the first note (or the first bar or wherever is suitable). /Mats -- = Mats Bengtsson Signal Processing Signals, Sensors and Systems Royal Institute of Technology SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Sweden Phone: (+46) 8 790 8463 Fax: (+46) 8 790 7260 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.s3.kth.se/~mabe = ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

automatic beaming in tuplets
hello list, i'm a beginner at lilypond, i know enough to enter music in a simple way. i still don't know enough of the language to try elaborate tweaks, but i find that usually lilypond is smart enough to produce good output for music that's not too complex. but i suspect that automatic beaming is not working correctly in certain cases involving tuplets. i include a short snippet with the corresponding image. i'm using a recently compiled 2.11.41 on linux. in 4/4 time signature, eight notes are beamed every 4 notes (i. e. into whole notes, m.1 in the example), which is of course correct; sixteenth notes are also correctly beamed every 4 notes into quarter notes (m.2). but 16th notes quintuplets and sextuplets are beamed into whole notes, even if that means including a pair of eight notes (m3 and m4). the same with 32nd septuplets (m5). normal 32nd notes, on the other hand, are beamed every 4 notes into eight notes, while i find that beaming every 8 notes is more standard. i find other anomalies, like the 8th notes quintuplet beamed together with the preceding 8th notes (m6). as a beginner, i don't know if these are bugs, my mistakes, or if that is the intended behavior. in the last case, could i ask the authors to reconsider the criteria used for automatic beaming? i know that you can adjust the beaming manually, or even change the automatic beam behavior globally. but i think that the defaults should be chosen in a way that requires as little manual tweaks as possible. thank you for your attention. best, lj beams.ly Description: Binary data attachment: beams.png___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

tuplet-type groups and bar check
Hello:
It seems when ever I use a grouping like this:
\time 2/4 \acciaccatura d8 d d'4 \times 4/5 { d'16[ b af f d] } |
The bar check sees that as 9/20 the score I'm working with has a
quarter note and acciacatura and a 5 gouping which *should* be 5 16th
in the time of 4 making one quarter note. This should be correct, yet
I get this error. I have a feeling this may be the culprit in a repeat
volta I'm trying to trouble shoot.
There are occasions where Lilypond seems not to count acciacaturas and
grace time correctly or it gets confused. This is one where I have no
idea why it acts the way it does. What am I not seeing?
Cheers
